The land belongs to the park and gardens. We didn\u2019t invite the workers they came voluntarily to fight the intruders\u2026 they thought that they were cheating us and stealing their property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, it is out of their own love that they have for their department that is why they are there in their numbers. So, anybody that comes around to disturb us we will not forgive him, we will not allow anybody to own our lands.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat this Dr. Ezekiel is doing is seriously uncalled and we are not going to allow him to own our land. Nobody has sold this land to him,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>He strongly condemned Dr Ezekiel\u2019s actions, questioning the legitimacy of his claim and his integrity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is a lair. That is why I ask if he is a reverend minister or what? We went to Cantonment Police Station with all our documents. We sent our certification of allocation because this place was given to us by an Executive Instrument (E.I.) this man came with a handwritten indenture. So, the divisional police commander asked him about the certificates to the land, and he told him that he only had that on his phone,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><strong>Explore the world of impactful news with CitiNewsroom on WhatsApp!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click on the link to join the Citi Newsroom channel for curated, meaningful stories tailored just for YOU:\u00a0https:\/\/whatsapp.com\/channel\/0029VaCYzPRAYlUPudDDe53x<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>No spams, just the stories that truly matter! #StayInformed #CitiNewsroom #CNRDigital<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tension gripped the Headquarters of the Department of Parks and Gardens on Wednesday, April 17, as the department continued its struggle against encroachment on its lands.
